Miami, Florida (October 9, 2025) — Taylor Duma LLP announced today that partners Alan David Barson and Barbara J. Riesberg have been selected to the Miami-Dade Bar’s 2025 Circle of Excellence, a peer-driven recognition honoring lawyers in Miami-Dade County for professionalism, integrity, community service, and contributions to the legal profession. Recipients are chosen through a process led by the Miami-Dade Bar and reflect the respect of the local bench and bar.
